I have long been involved with voting and electoral systems, and how to reform election methods for the best. One thing I have learned to explain is that “no electoral system is perfect.” Even the best of the alternative systems will have some short-comings, despite being superior to the norm. Speaking of elections makes one […]

I recently read a pontification from a Physical Therapist stating: “In my PT experience, you have only two categories of exercisers: 1) Those who love to exercise; and 2) Those who don’t.” For any fan of House of Cards (British version), I will paraphrase “you might very well think that this is an absurdly simple […]

GUEST WRITER Too good to be true. We have all heard this old phrase. Sadly, we don’t always heed its warning. The world has become super competitive and very connected.

Remember Part I? In the last blog, we covered the ubiquitous NAFLD, or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, which is shockingly common world-wide (33% of adults). We also addressed the more severe form of this fatty liver disease called NASH. Additionally, you learned about a common precursor to both of them – Metabolic Syndrome. You may […]

Few people talk about the liver. Fewer still about the aging liver. Fewer yet about the connection between the liver and neuro-muscular-skeletal system. And what, if anything, we can do to protect the liver. I recently attended a workshop on the health connection between the liver and the muscle skeletal system. There is a connection. […]
